Brookline Election and Town Meeting

Local elections shape the decisions that affect our daily lives — public safety, roads and infrastructure, emergency services, schools, zoning, health services, and how our tax dollars are invested in Brookline.

Because turnout is often lower than in national races, each vote carries greater influence. Local elections are where neighbors have the most direct voice in the future of our community.

Below are sample 2026 ballots. The Brookline Democratic Executive Committee offers recommendations for candidates we believe will serve the town with integrity, experience, and a strong commitment to Brookline — regardless of political party. Our recommendations include candidates from both parties, as well as undeclared.

The Committee is also carefully reviewing warrant articles. Our Voting Guide — with summaries and recommendations — will be updated as that work continues, so voters can head into Election Day and Town Meeting informed and prepared.
